A junior partner at a top vc told me he was worried i wasnt coachable. I said, i dont see what you can teach me given youve never founded or run a successful company.
Confusing work ethic with work effort is a common mistake. But showing up early and going home late is only a small part of the equation, and sometimes a negative one. Much rather have someone who runs to problems, does what they promise, and acts as a manager of one.

I want to highlight something - when @JeremySternLA asked Meta for comment regarding his (amazing BTW) @tabletmag piece on myself and Anduril, the response came not from some PR flunky, but Zuck himself.
“I have a huge amount of respect for Palmer—both for what he’s done for VR and for now achieving the rare feat of building multiple successful companies,” Zuckerberg told Tablet in a statement this month, his first regarding Luckey in several years. “He’s an impressive free-thinker and fun to work with. I was sad when his time at Meta came to an end, but the silver lining is that his work at Anduril is going to be extremely important for our national security. I’m glad an entrepreneur of his caliber is working on these problems. I hope we can find ways to work together in the future.”
Me too, @finkd.
